Chapter 823 - A Rebellious Teen
Chapter 823: A Rebellious Teen
Lei Zongze was like a quail, shrinking his head and standing in front of his big brother’s desk.
“Lei Zongze, you’re something else!” Lei Junshan’s face was as black as ink. “You’re acting like a king in the company and bullying newbies. Now you’re even bullying my disciple. Do you want to die?”
Lei Zongze immediately shook his head and defended himself, “Brother, I… I didn’t bully him!” He glared at Xiao Lingye and said, “I didn’t know that this newbie was your disciple!”
What he didn’t expect was Xiao Lingye would tattle on him. ‘Hmph, the night is still young. We’ll just wait and see.’
Who would have thought that his glare towards Xiao Lingye would be discovered by his own brother?
Lei Junshan’s face darkened, and he asked sternly, “Who are you glaring at? Can’t the others point things out when you’ve made a mistake?”
Lei Zongze immediately shook his head, “No, no!”
Lei Junshan said, “Lei Zongze, if I find out that you’re bullying a newcomer again, I’ll cut off all your allowance.”
Lei Zongze immediately said nervously, “No, Big Brother. I won’t bully a newbie anymore.”
‘No wonder this newbie was so fearless earlier. He has a backer. Just wait and see.’
This time, Lei Zongze did not dare to glare at Xiao Lingye anymore. He only lowered his head, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.
Lei Junshan was very clear about his younger brother’s personality. However, he had spoiled him too much. That was why he did things without any rules. He was lawless in the company.
Lei Junshan normally turned a blind eye because his younger brother’s actions were harmless. However, he did not expect that his younger brother would become worse.
When he thought of this, Lei Junshan became angry. Then, he said, “In the future, your pocket money will be reduced by half.”
“No!” Lei Zongze exclaimed, “Brother, brother, I know I’m wrong. Don’t deduct my pocket money, okay? Without pocket money, how am I going to live?”
Lei Junshan did not show any mercy and said, “You can live as you like. Also, if I don’t see you do anything to help the company in the future, I won’t even give you half of your pocket money!”
Lei Zongze said in disbelief, “Brother, are you still my biological brother? Isn’t this too cruel to me?”
“Alright, go back to your office and do your work.” Lei Junshan waved his hand and began to chase him away like a fly. “My disciple and I still have a lot of things to do. We are busy and have no time to entertain you!”
Lei Zongze left resentfully.
Seeing his younger brother leave, Lei Junshan revealed a disappointed look in his eyes. He sighed lightly and revealed a worried expression. Then he said to Xiao Lingye, “My younger brother has been spoiled by me and is now lawless. If you hadn’t found out, I wouldn’t have noticed that he has such a bad personality. He hid it from me and let me down.”
Xiao Lingye smiled and comforted him, “Master, CEO Lei doesn’t look that old. He probably just likes to play.”
Lei Junshan shook his head and said, “He’s two years older than you, but he’s still not sensible. If he were, he wouldn’t think of bullying newbies. After all, every newbie who came to the company could help the company in the future. He isn’t helping the company by bullying them.”
Xiao Lingye thought of something and suddenly asked, “Master, do you usually not care about CEO Lei that much?”
Lei Junshan said, “Ever since my parents passed away, my brother and I have been relying on each other. But ever since I started the company, I’ve been busier and busier, so I can’t accompany him every day. Later, when he grew up, I asked him to come to the company to work and help out.”
Speaking up to this point, Lei Junshan sighed and said, “Who would have thought that my obedient brother would turn out like this? He’s so domineering and rebellious behind my back. If this continues, what should I do?”
Xiao Lingye also understood.
Lei Junshan and Lei Zongze lost their parents when they were young. The two of them relied on each other for survival, so the relationship between the two brothers was naturally deep. He believed that Lei Junshan must have loved his brother very much. However, as his business grew bigger, he neglected his younger brother. Lei Zongze was probably still going through his rebelliousteenagephase.
Xiao Lingye pointed it out sharply and said, “Master, I think President Lei did this on purpose.”
Lei Junshan was stunned at first, then he asked with some doubt, “Disciple, what do you mean by this?”
Xiao Lingye explained, “Yes, I believe CEO Lei is acting like a rebellious teen.”
“A teen?” Lei Junshan was surprised, “This… but my brother is already 25 or 26 years old.”
Xiao Lingye sighed lightly and said, “Master, CEO Lei did this on purpose. His purpose is to attract your attention!”
Lei Junshan still didn’t understand, “Why did he want to attract my attention? I’ve given him the best living conditions, so what else could he not be satisfied with?”
“Master, you can just give him material satisfaction. What about family connection?” Xiao Lingye said sharply, “Did you neglect your younger brother when you started the company and became busier with your own business? Other than giving him material satisfaction, did you really show concern for his life?”
Lei Junshan said, “He’s already so old. He’s not a baby anymore. Isn’t buying him everything he wants good enough? How else am I going to show my care?”
Xiao Lingye shook his head and said, “Master, this is more than just material satisfaction. What he needs is companionship.”
Lei Junshan was stunned when he heard that. Then he said, “We’re both quite old already. Isn’t that a bit too cheesy?”
Xiao Lingye knew that Lei Junshan still didn’t get it. Then, he said, “How about this, master? Send CEO Lei to my home.”
“Your home?” Lei Junshan was a little confused.
“Yes, my home is at Taoyuan Village,” Xiao Lingye smiled, “My family is very friendly. If you send CEO Lei to my home, he will definitely change.”
Lei Junshan thought for a moment and said, “I will consider it!”
